What if I don't have a paying job, and just surf the net when I'm not doing stuff for:

1. My sweetie
2. CAP
3. another volunteer organization

Work takes up a huge chunk of time, it even invades my life when I'm not at work (I have to carry my work phone with me 24/7).    It'll be worse after I quit my job and start Nursing School.  Outside of that, my time is divided pretty evenly between CAP and family / non-CAP friends. 

I envy you all who's family also join CAP.  I guess in some ways I'm rather selfish about my CAP time, it's the time when I can get away from work (mostly) and family, besides...it's a big enough hit to the bank account with just me in CAP  :P

For me CAP fills a huge void that doesn't get filled at work, where the almighty corporate dollar is king, hence the change of career.

I have to say that mine is "CAP is family".  In my home office I have a tv that my family watches (I have control of the Comcast box  >:D).  I spend my free time researching and study CAP with my oldest daughter, the rest of my family is watching the boob tube in the same room.  My wife and two younger children support me and my oldest in what we do.  My second daughter is chomping at the bit to join, as is my son (all three are approximately 2 years apart, give or take 3 weeks).  Once all my children have joined, I do believe that my wife will join.  That will be 5 Hobgoods.  I am slowly planning the take over of CAP muwhahaha >:D

I go with none of the above.  Hockey takes up most of my free time.  My family is still the priority but they don't require too much time during hockey season...    >:D >:D >:D
